Rapala Launches Scatter Rap Series Kicking off this patent pending, groundbreaking series, the Scatter Rap® Crank features a balsa body with a curved or ‘Scatter Lip,’ which creates the most evasive, erratic, aggressive sweeping action ever seen. “This family of lures is a game changer through and through,” says Mike Iaconelli, Rapala® and VMC® pro angler. “The erratic action brings the natural scenario of a baitfish fleeing a predator to life by moving effortlessly from one side to the next triggering the bite.” Ideal for bass or other multispecies gamefish, the Scatter Rap Crank can be cast or trolled and is available in 14-16 classic and new color patterns, and swims between six-and nine-feet. Break away from the pack and get Scattering. Rapala® Scatter Rap® Minnow Carrying on the tradition, the Scatter Rap® Minnow features the legendary Rapala® minnow body profile. With its innovative ‘Scatter Lip,’ it flips traditional casting and trolling methods for all species on their heads, impart to the all-new aggressive, evasive, erratic sweeping action that defines the Scatter Rap family. “I’ve seen fish of all species on various bodies of water get aggressive over a lure but the Scatter Rap Minnow tops them all,” says Al Lindner, legendary angler and National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Famer. “This unique action simply turns fish on.” The Scatter Rap Minnow is available in 16 color patterns to match any species, forage or water clarity types. With a diving depth of six-to eightfeet and VMC® Black Nickel Hooks, this newly infused evasive action lure is ready to tango. Rapala® Scatter Rap® Shad

The Rapala® Scatter Rap® Shad builds on the legendary action of the Rapala Shad Rap® with a twist - an all-new evasive swimming action - impart to a thinner body design and all new curved ‘Scatter Lip.’ Matching the most common forage perfectly, the Scatter Rap Shad is ideal for all species and lures big fish in with an industry first, fleeing or aggressive sweeping action. “The Scatter Rap Shad will become one of the great new go-to lures for anglers fishing multiple species in a variety of applications,” explains Ott DeFoe, Rapala pro angler. “The lure swims with an aggressive, panicked, fleeing action. Pair that with multiple color patterns and anglers will see just how successful this revolutionary new lure and action is when they hit the water.” Cast or trolled, the Scatter Rap Shad is designed to cruise between five-and eight-feet in depth. With VMC® Black Nickel Treble Hooks and 16 musthave color patterns, this one-of-a-kind lure’s action will have anglers screaming “get the net” all day long. Rapala® Scatter Rap® CountDown® The ‘CountDown’ method is a time-tested approach that allows anglers to reach suspended fish at any depth with ease. Now, Rapala® boosts this technique with the ‘evasive action’ of the new
patent pending Scatter Rap® CountDown®. “With this lure, anglers for the first time will be able to create the evasive swimming action of a baitfish fleeing a predator at a suspended depth,” remarks Bernie Schultz, Rapala pro angler. “Not only will anglers be able to get down to the strike zone with precise consistency, but this bait will instinctively trigger the bite with its madly erratic, evasive sweeping action.” Cast and counted down or trolled for lifelike ‘evasive action,’ the Scatter Rap CountDown is designed for multiple species and features two VMC® Black Nickel Treble Hooks. Anglers can choose from 16 different color patterns including Fire Minnow, Bleak, AYU and much more.

V&M Pace Maker Jigs Bassmaster Classic Cliff Pace is not your ordinary tinker when it comes to jigs and spinnerbaits. He has spent thousands of hours studying and understanding what makes baits work well in certain conditions. He’s spent a lot of time pouring lead and used that ability to literally help design three jigs that are his Dream Jigs for V&M Baits. These three jigs will be the first in the Pacemaker Series from V&M.
These jigs will become available toward the end of August. You can pre-order now at www.bayououtdoors.com. Here is a short video of Pace explaining how he designed each jig.
The Flatline Football jig, the Pulse Swim Jig and the Adrenaline Flipping jig all feature custom hooks, unique details, designs and custom colors to match the custom skirts. The jigheads are not only unique, but specifically designed to be functional for each type of jig fishing. For instance the Adrenaline Flipping jig features a recessed line tie on a custom 30-degree jig hook that gives the hook a much bigger bite than most conventional jigheads. It also features flat ridges on the bottom that keep the jig upright and ready for a good hookset at all times. Likewise the Pulse Swim Jig features eyes that are recessed and protected so they will last longer as well as a unique keel and wedge shaped head that when the jig hits a piece of vertical cover, actually deflects the jig and turns it away from the cover so the hook won’t snag as easily as other jigs. They have a strong custom hook, great finishes and skirt patterns. The new Flatline Football jig will be a staple for Pace as he’s won a lot of money on the Bassmaster Elite Series on football jigs from V&M. It has a unique triangle wedge on the bottom of it to stir up more sediment along the bottom and give the bait more appeal to bass.
